A thermoformed, reusable, recyclable shipping container comprising a thermoformed shell and a plurality of separate load bearing columns secured within said shell at various locations whereby the stacking load imposed on the containers will be at least partially borne by the load bearing columns.

A low depth crate for containers includes a base with a top surface and a bottom surface, and a wall structure extending upwardly around a periphery of the base. A plurality of recesses are defined in the bottom surface and arranged to engage containers loaded in a like crate therebeneath when in a stacked configuration. The plurality of recesses includes primary recesses capable of engaging at least two different sizes of containers, each primary recess having a first support region with a first depth with respect to the bottom surface and a second support region with a second depth with respect to the bottom surface, the first depth greater than the second depth. The wall structure may include four adjoined side walls each having a handle formed in a central portion of the side wall and extending upwardly above an upper rim of the side wall.

A beverage crate includes a base and a plurality of walls extending upward from the base. The base together with the plurality of walls define a container interior for receiving beverage containers. By reconfiguring the crate, the storage volume of the container interior is selectively adjustable to accommodate different size beverage containers. Thus, the same crate could be used for different size beverage containers.
